I am new at quilting, and have posted a few photos of what I have done. For some reason I am not attracted to quilts that have form - I like things a little off and always with a splash of some bright color. I have been combining applique on many of the quilts. This week I have "mastered" nine-patch, flying geese and triangles using paper piecing. I cannot make 1/4 inch seams without a line to follow, even with the sewing foot. Is there anyone like me in the quilting world??? Don't have a computer near where I sew, so I can't watch and follow some of the video demonstrations

Hello!
I think you should do what you like and what you feel!
Failure to follow the "rules" and you good ... very good!
Lo 1 / 4 ", I leave a tip I found when I started sewing. You can print it and then test on your machine.'s Point 2 in this link:http://www.jinnybeyer.com/jinnys-cor...5ABFE737BAF506
A hug!

That's what quilting is all about - doing it your own way! Be creative! They are out there; you just need to look a little! Go for it! And we would love to see them here! That would be an inspiration to others who would like to try something a little different, but need a little 'push' to go ahead and do it! :thumbup:

You might like the "modern" quilting movement, there are a lot of relaxed, no-rules, asymmetrical, good-for-beginning-quilter blogs out there, with some great, easy tutorials. I know you don't have easy access to a computer, but some of the tutorials can be printed out. Check books out from your library, go to quilt shows, you may become inspired and create your own style! A great resource could be the modern quilt guild - it's sort of a grass-roots nationwide guild with branches in various locations. Check this website to see if there's one near you, and if there is, GO! You will likely find lots of kindred spirits there! :)
